Also, when posting pictures, only put up your best pictures. Don’t put up a lot at once, spread out when you post them so people keep coming back to your page to look at the new photos and don’t feel overwhelmed looking at several pictures at once.

Hope this helps

Now, I started a family in the very worst of times (financially) and have managed to build up a decent freelance income to supplement my main income. I project that once I start publishing some coffee table books and exhibit in a few galleries, the market aspects of those activities will propel my business beyond the magazines and newspaper work into fine art and hopefully commercial and fashion. It helps to love what you do. The next step is to actually get well paid for it. I forgot to mention I published a website called The Red Carpet University, located at http://www.tear-sheets.net to help amateur and pro photographers make a smooth transition to the art of editorial entertainment photography aka red carpet photography.

I’m also a start-up, and I’ve sold a few prints, but have yet to secure any shoots. I have had some “almosts,” and I get lots of compliments on my work. I carry my business cards EVERYWHERE. I’m on Facebook, Twitter, I sell prints 3 places online,and I’m having a web site built. I also have photos up in one restaurant (no sales yet,) and another friend who wants to put some of my stuff up in his home office. Every little bit of exposure helps, I think, and something for us start-ups to remember is that it takes time to find clients/for our clients to find us.

I’m interested in commercial and artistic photography. I could see doing corporate events, publicity shots, etc.
